This year's competition theme was stamp design showing the Hungarian Saints. Our competition has joined the events marking the St. Stephen Memorial Year in 2013. Among the Hungarian Saints King Ladislaus was strongly connected to Nagyvárad (Oradea). He was buried first in the Abbey of Somogyvár and later his remains were transferred to Minstrel of Nagyvárad, which he had founded.The students of graphic art at the Partium Christian University had a very strong competition as 51 students made entries, a new record.
